CO 737 off runway in DEN

[EWR_FO]

So....what happened? Was he over 60? Did they really abort after V1?

1) He is not even close to sixty.

2) Since they departed the runway about 200 feet INTO the takeoff roll, I'm guessing no.

Crazy Denver style cross winds are moving to the top of the list of probable causes. There are several LLWAS sensors around the runway that recorded a lot of wind information. The NTSB will be looking at that data after the new year.

My sources tell me that the captain has a broken back and that everyone else who was interviewed said he was yelling at them to get off the airplane first. Then he hobbled off the airplane behind the first officer taking time to look into the cabin and see if there were still passengers on board. If this is true then I nominate the captain of CAL 1404 for man of the year award.

That was very noble of him. Not to take anything away from his valor, but I would have done the same thing as would many others. After all, this should be done out of duty. You are the captain, you know.

You don't have any idea what you would do in that situation, because you have never been in it. You know what you think you would do, or what you have been trained to do. There is a big difference between the two.

I am based in DEN. The plane actullay started to veer of the runway around 2,500 feet. I was in my full A319 going to the East coast (probably same weight or a bit heavier than the 737 to IAH) last week and marked my airspeed at the same point in the takeoff roll. It was 110 Kts!

Myself and a few others here would like to meet you in the EWR crew room to discuss this further. Please post here when you have some time from your Sherlock Holmes investigation service so we can all "chat".

Amen Brother, That could not have been said better.

Oh what a tough guy you are !

Guess what? my PSP has high scores on it that took hundreds of hours of airport sit times to achieve, if you and your kids have to suck plastic smoke and get a little singed around the edges while I get it out safe, SO BE IT! You should have gotten the little ones nomex clothing, instead of that krap from Wallymart!
